The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has rebuffed allegation by the All Progressives Congress, APC, that it was plotting to hire Russian agents to hack Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) server ahead of the 2019 general elections.
The party in a statement issued on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan said, “APC is on the throes of death and as such it is clutching on straws for survival.
“How comes APC is making allegations on behalf of INEC if they are not in cahoots to rig the 2019 election. How comes APC is alleging of a plot to hack into the commission’s system even when the body had dismissed the possibility of such an occurrence.
“The allegation is a product of an infantile thinker and no serious minded Nigerian will waste a second of his or her precious time on this.”
The APC had accused the PDP of plotting to compromise the forthcoming general elections by hiring Russian agents to tamper with election results, hence its insistence that President Muhammadu Buhari must sign the 2018 Electoral Amendment Bill. The party called on Nigerians to ponder on why the PDP was no longer at ease with the law it used to conduct many elections in Nigeria.
